IT may be a Tale of Truth, for it is ftot

Charlotte, by the tytifice of a teachei, recom

than a convi&ion ot her integrity, or the re
gularity of her former conduit, is enticed
from her governed, and accompanies a young
officer to America.—-The marriage ceremo j

lotte dies a martyr to the inconstancy of the
over, and treachery ot his friend —The (itu- i

The Public are cautioned to
beware of counterfeited Five Dollar Bilk of
the Bank of the United States, and Twenty
Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America,
several of which have appeared in circulation
within a few days pajl; they are a good ge
neral imitation of the genuine Bills, but may
be diflingui/hed by the following
MARKS.
Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the
United States.
ALL that have appeared have the letter F.
for their Alphabetical Mark.
The Texture of the Paper is thicker and
whiter and it takes the ink more freely than
the genuine paper.
The O. in the word Company is smaller
than the M. and other letters of that word,
so that a line extended from the top of the O,
to touch the top of the M. would extend con
fidtrably above the range of the whole word.
In the word United the letters are narrow
erand closer together than the reft of the bill
The i and/in the word promise are not
parallel, the/inclining much more forward
thin the i.
The engraving is badly executed,the fti okes
of all the Letters are ft rouge r and the devi' e
in the margin particularly is much coarser and
appeal's darker than in the true bills. Some
el the counterfeits bear date in 1791—Where
as the Bank was not in operation till Decern
ber, and no five dollar bills were ifTued in
lhat year.
Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North
America.
ALL that have appeared have the letter
B. for their alphabetical mark.
They are printed on a paper neatly similar
to that of the Five Dollar Notes
above described; the engraving is bettei exe
ucted, and they approach nearer to tiie.ap
pearance of the genuine bills.
The fine ruled lines through the word Tain- (
in the body of the bill, are in number thir
teen in the genuine bills, and but twelve in
the counterfeits.
The word Company is much like the fame
word in the Five Dollar Bills as defer ibed a
bove, the 0 being less than them, and others
following.
There is no stroke to the t in the word North
whereas in the genuine bills the stroke is well
defined.
The letters ent in the word Twenty, tp the
left hand at the bottom, do not come down to
the line, but are so cat as to give an irregular
appearance to the word, the Tw and the 7 go
ing oelow them.
The signature J, Nixon, has the appear
ance of being written with lamb-black and
oil, and differs from other inks uftd in
printing the bills and the calhiei's lignature.
It is supposed thele forgeries were committed
in some of the Southern States, as all the coun
terfeits thai have appeared, have come trom
thence, and two persons have been apprehend
ed in Virginia,on suspicion of being the author
of i hem.
The reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS
will be paid to any Perlon or Persons wfio (hail
difcovei and profccute to conviction the levelal
offenders of the following descriptions or any
of thcin, viz.
The peifon or persons, who manufaflured
the paper on which the Bills are printed.
The person or pet lons, who engiaved the
plates.
The printer or printers, of the bills.
Every person who has atted as a principal in
any othei way, in the counterfeiting'and utter
ing the said b Us.
Philadelphia, March 28, 1794
April 22, 1794,
Other counterfeit bills
of the Bank of the United States have appeared
in circulation.
The denomination is of TWENTY DOL
LARS,and the alphabeticalmaik is the let
ter JB.
They may be dillinguiflied from the genu
ine by the following MARKS :
The paper of the counterfeits is of a more
! tender texture and glofley furfacc than the
genuine, and there isno water mark in them.
The letter t.. in the word Cashier, in the
true bills is strongly marked, whereas in the
counterfeits, the whole letter is a fine hair
stroke, evidently in an unfinilhed state. The
letter a in the word demand, is badly formed
and the whole word ill dpne, and there is no
comma at the end of it, as there is in the
genuine bills.
h ma , r £'"?' device, is much daiker in
Ik* rt 'j' '' lan genuine bills owing to
e a e strokes being coarser, much nearer
ogt t.ier, and consequently much more nu
merous. This difference strikes the eye at firft
view. '

univerl'al justice, sacred. o: der, and perfect

insolence of office) the tyranny of p. Ide, and
the outrages of oppression ; confirms, in the
most forcible manner, the necessity of fub t »-
